'Nostalgia' from EdwinK - Doctor Who Cybermen

Thoughts of Jenna Coleman to one side, there’s only one reason why a man of my age should be a Doctor Who fan – pure nostalgia. That being so, I thought it appropriate to submit these for this bonus round.

Although they barely appeared during the tenure of ‘my Doctors’ (Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker), Cybermen are one of the more iconic of the Doctor’s foes. I’m not going to go into the multitude of design variations here – we don’t have space or time! So here is a squad of six 28mm Cybermen from Black Tree Designs: in two different poses and a Cyberleader.

I’m afraid they’re a bit of a rush job (bonus round!), and I’m not too happy with the bases – they ended up as a mixture of moonbase and Home Countries sand quarry, but fans will appreciate that. There was a seventh, but his base was even worse than the others he’ll appear in a future submission.
